Tile repair in Markeaton

How we handle tile repair in Markeaton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Markeaton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Markeaton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Markeaton questions

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are there extra charges for Markeaton?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover the entire of Derby?

We cover the entire UK, including Markeaton and the rest of Derby. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
